My disposal model 175 60505 is not working. Please help if you can.
For a few weeks the disposal had been making a louder-than-usual noise after a spoon was accidentally left in it. The unit never got clogged or stuck and continued to function. Yesterday when I tried to run it the unit made a sound but failed to spin. I used a 1/4 inch allen wrench and was able to move the flywheel back and forth. After using the allen wrench, the unit worked for a few seconds and I switched it off. When I switched the unit on again it failed to work but made a sound. I again used the allen wrench and found that the flywheel would turn freely but the unit would only hum when turned on.
Is it likely that my disposal is kaput or is there anything else that I should try? Thanks.
